Trim Tab Maintenance
Marine growth can affect the operation of the
trim tab planes and actuators. To help
reduce marine growth, return the trim tabs to
the full “UP” position after operating the
boat. Inspect and clean the actuators and
planes regularly.
The trim tabs also include a zinc anode to
help prevent galvanic corrosion. Galvanic
corrosion occurs when different metals are
submerged in an electrolyte. Sea water is an
electrolyte and submerged metal compo-
nents must be protected. Anodes were fac-
tory installed and need to be replaced when
they are 75% of their original size.
Refer to Routine Maintenance for informa-
tion regarding zinc anodes and the trim tab
owner’s manual for additional maintenance
information, fluid specifications and operat-
ing instructions.
